Heavy paper

It's traditional to send out New Year's cards at Rosh Hashanah wishing your friends and family a sweet year.

To make a honey of a card, draw a large honey jar along the edge of a folded piece of heavy paper. Cut out the honey jar shape on all the edges except the folded one. Trace the jar shape on a piece of felt and cut out two felt jar shapes that you can glue onto the front and back of your card.

Cut an oval shape out of felt to use as the honey jar's label. Write the word "HONEY" on it with a marker. Inside the card, draw pictures and write the message, "May your New Year be as sweet as honey!"

Everyone will agree that this is one sweet card.

A Sweet Year Apples, honey, and carrots are eaten at Rosh Hashanah to symbolize the sweetness and good fortune of the coming year. The Rosh Hashanah meal is begun by dipping apples and challah (a special bread) in honey.
